    Summary
    Enables transforming growth factor beta binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol efflux; cholesterol homeostasis; and neuron projection development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ciliary body morphogenesis; negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway; and telencephalon development. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including olfactory epithelium and skin. Orthologous to human TSKU (tsukushi, small leucine rich proteoglycan).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
